How do I care for my Polartec® clothing?The careinstructions for the majority of our fabrics are: machine wash warm,tumble dry low, do not use bleach, avoid use of fabric softener, do notiron, and do not dry clean. Since we do not create and manufacturethe clothing, we do not know what type of trim or other materials ourcustomers are using which may affect care instructions.

Can I use fabric softeners on Polartec® fabrics to reduce static?Theaddition of fabric softeners affects the function of the waterrepellent applied to some Polartec® fabrics, but oftentimes, diminishesthe static problem. There are various brands of softeners withdifferent chemistries and some will help static at the expense of waterrepellency, and others will have no effect on either. No softener willdamage the basic fabric and will come off in the next wash. We do notrecommend using fabric softeners on Polartec® Power Dry® or Polartec®Power Stretch® because it may inhibit wicking and drying properties.
